Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue

Neale Donald Walsch. Hampton Roads Publishing Company, $19.95 (263pp) ISBN 978-1-57174-056-4

In this follow-up to the bestselling Conversations with God, Walsch presents yet another lengthy record of the opinions that God has confided in him alone. This second volume features a verbose deity who appears almost to be playing patient to Walsch's psychotherapist. These conversations present a very jocular God bantering and joshing with divine aplomb about sex, politics, economics, ecology and myriad other topics. Walsch remains ""culturally correct"" by bashing ""organized religion"" in general and Catholicism in particular. Typically, however, his religion-bashing is based on misrepresentations and simpleminded theology. One can only be shocked that God is so gullible as to take Walsch's intellectually lazy word for it.
